Chapter 20 Fishing in Troubled Waters
Early the next morning
Wen Yu, who was yawning, got up from the bed and folded the quilt quickly, he didn't think that in this desert, the night was so cold.
He opened the door and walked out, and was hit with something "I'll go" and almost fell.
Rubbing his eyes again, he saw Yang lying on the ground, snoring, and holding a large knife in his hand.
"Yang Zheng, didn't you say that people who practice martial arts sleep less? Wake up," Wen Yu stepped forward and pushed Yang Zheng on the ground.
"Lord, I'm sorry, I couldn't stay up, I fell asleep unconsciously just after dawn" Yang Zheng quickly got up and bowed to Wen Yu.
"Daddy, you're awake too" Wen Hao and Qin Yu in the next room also opened the door and walked out.
Several people walked to the front hall one after another, and the shopkeeper had two big black circles under his eyes.
Walked out with a basin of hot goat's milk.
Wen Yu went out to see the situation of the sandstorm outside, fortunately the sandstorm had stopped, and there was a thick pile of yellow sand on the way over.
Yang Zheng's younger brothers put a small wooden board under all the horses' hooves, then wrapped it in cloth and tied it to the horses' hooves.
Wen Yu drank hot goat's milk, ordered some dry food, and let the coachman Wang Cheng put it in the carriage.
"Mr. Bill, how much is it" Wen Yu approached the counter and asked for the price.
"Big, my lord, thirty taels" Mr. Abacus trembled and stretched out three fingers.
"What, you're afraid it's not a black shop" Wen Yu couldn't believe it, the consumption in this wilderness was higher than that of Tianzi City.
"My lord, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are a serious inn" Mr. Abacus made an abacus and handed it to Wen Yu.
"It turns out that the bath is a little more expensive, okay, mother, give money" Wen Yu is not a penny, her mother is in charge of the money
Qin Yu opened the wooden box that she was holding at any time, it was full of thick silver tickets, she took out a piece of 10,000 taels and handed it to Mr. Ledger, it is true that these days, the change has been spent.
The shopkeeper, Mr. Abacus, looked at the thick silver ticket and swallowed his saliva.
"My lord, we are a small business, we can't find it, we can't find it," Mr. Abacus said awkwardly as he shook his hand.
"Which of you has change," Wen Yu shouted to Yang Zheng and the others behind him.
Yang Zheng opened his package, which also contained more than 100,000 silver tickets, as well as many gold, silver and jewelry. He held a jade cup and tossed it in his hand a few times.
He handed it to Mr. Abacus and asked, "Is it enough?" ”
"Enough, enough, Lord Xie" Mr. Abacus took the jade cup and smiled, this jade cup, if it is taken to the county seat, at least one hundred taels.
"Get on the horse, go"
Yang Zheng shouted loudly and took the lead in the front, and the other five people also followed, Wen Yu's convoy followed closely behind, and four people followed behind on horseback.
"Big brother, this time we sent it" The shopkeeper looked at the delicate jade cup and couldn't put it down.
The cook also came out of the kitchen drinking mutton soup
"The princes are here, maybe there will be another war on the border, alas, if it weren't for being homeless and hungry, who would want to do this harmful hook" Mr. Abacus looked at the direction Wen Yu left and sighed.
"Big brother, let's change our minds and run the inn well," the cook suggested
"Yes, big brother, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot" The shopkeeper also agreed.
"Over the years, none of you have ever killed, at most you are just under sweat medicine, put down the butcher's knife of that door" Mr. Abacus looked at the two with disdain.
"Whew" shopkeeper pretended to be fierce and vicious
"Don't pretend, you go to the next county town to exchange money and buy it," Mr. Abacus directly gave him a chestnut on the head.
He covered his head, grinned in pain, took the jade cup, took out the camel, and disappeared into the yellow sand with the jingling of the bells.
After ten days of traveling, we finally crossed the great desert that stood in our way.
Yang Zheng patted his robe, and his lips were all cracked and cracked.
"Lord, there is a small river ditch in front, it's getting dark, let's go and tidy up for the night."
"Okay" Wen Yu opened the curtain and looked at a few crooked old willows, there was a very small ditch.
The carriage creaked and stopped under a willow tree, and several crows on the tree "quacked" and flew off into the distance.
"You guys supply the water well," Yang Zheng instructed a few younger brothers
Then he took the kettle, fetched a pot of water, ran over and knocked on the carriage.
"Lord, lord, madam, please drink water"
Wen Yu's family of three got out of the carriage, took the kettle handed by Yang Zheng and began to drink water.
After Yang Zheng smiled, he ran to the side of the small river ditch to hold the water in his hand, laughed and drank it.
The horses by the river, nibbling on the few weeds, occasionally roared.
"Brother Leopard, there's fish in it"
"Brothers, get on, catch them"
Yang Zheng took a group of younger brothers and jumped into the ditch, jumped up and down to catch fish in it, and took a bath by the way.
"Hahaha, I caught a big fish, Brother Leopard" The man named Lao Ba was holding a ten-pound big fish, laughing so much that his teeth were about to fall out
"Hurry up and roast the lord, let's continue to catch some" Yang Zheng pinched his nose after saying and dived down.
Night falls, and the sky is dotted with stars.
Wen Yu and the others were eating wild grilled fish around the firewood.
Yang Zheng took out the map and slowly drew along the Son of Heaven City to the north with wooden branches, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Lord, we have arrived in Yanzhou County, and we can reach Shangbei County in three days."
"Ahem"
The driver pointed to his throat, indicating that he was stuck in a fish bone.
"Open your mouth, ah~" Yang Zheng put down the map, stretched out his hand into Wang Cheng's throat and took out a fish bone.
